Bandages removed 5 DPO
WORTH IT
Photo update of day 5 post-op, I'm only annoyed by the feeling of trapped air/water inside the boobs but the doctor said this should resolve within 10 days or so as the body reabsorbs those. Overall very happy with the size and how things are progressing so far.

5 days feel like 50
Quick update, today is day 5 post-op, I'm not going to post any pictures because nothing has changed significantly and tomorrow I am going to have my bandages removed anyway.
One thing I want to say is that even with most patient people like myself (I really am), the regret starts creeping in too - not in terms of "I should've gone bigger", not at all, but rather "why on earth have I inflicted this suffering on myself?!". The chest is tight. Sleep is limited and incremental. You take forever to fall asleep and then wake up 1 hour later due to muscle spasms. Moving hurts. Doing anything in the house becomes a challenge. Kids need to be pushed away all the time (mine are small and still don't understand). Been sleeping in the corner of the sofa for 4 nights because sleeping on a hard mattress is impossible. Bloating is unbelievable.
Anyway, this is just a rant and I know it will get better as time goes by (it is already less painful than previous days). If anyone's suffering from regret, you're not alone :)

You definitely are not alone! Recovery is definitely more challenging than I imagined - physically and emotionally. I’m sure we’ll forget all this at some stage but for now for me personally, bloating is a big issue! I feel pregnant again.

Sleeping is a whole new challenge
After spending a night in the hospital I'm back home (in Dubai we don't usually go home the same day as the doctors prefer to observe us for 1 night prior to discharge). The pain is still 3/10 I'd say but the bloat is crazy. I feel like I'm 7 months preggo. Oh and BTW the doctor used my old breast lift vertical scars that go from the nipple down - he said those under the boob ones look good but the vertical ones are all discolorated, big and could be made better so he used the opportunity to beautify the old scars as well as utilize them as the access point. Kudos!
I can't get comfortable with sleeping on my back elevated, I've tried many different pillow configurations and it's all in vain so at this point (3:24 AM) I'm just hoping I'll crash due to exhaustion sometime soon.
Scheduled to see the doc on the 5th day to take the bandages off and move me to a sports bra.
